BLACKFOREST REIGN

CHAPTER SEVEN

The High Council had taken in Aran for questioning. And as agreed they had questioned him in Pran's presence.

He had never for once left his side, even when they brought one of the witches to dig a little  inside Aran's mind in order to make sure the young boy wasn't lying to them.

He had tried to argue against it in his first instinct but the members of the council had been adamant. 

After the whole ordeal was done, Pran took him to his and Pat's apartment upstairs where he ordered fresh blood for him whilst he took a bath.

He had asked Andrew to buy him some clothes on the way here. 

"Are you crazy?" he had called out when he found what the clothes had been for, "You brought him here? Why?" 

"He needed a bath and a fresh change of clothes"

"Pran -" 

"He's scared" He immediately cut him off, "I'm trying to make him comfortable. I'm trying to earn his trust" 

"You have a big heart, Pran, you really do.  And it's frustrating to accept that"

Pran only gave him a shallow smile. He has heard this before and as always people never fail to complain.

"Well, does Pat know you are planning to adopt him now?" 

Pran glared back at Andrew, "he's just here until we figure out a way to stop Ezekiel. He still needs to see his sister's",

Pran mentioned as he glanced towards the room Aran was getting dressed in. 

Just then a knock was heard. Andrew moved to open the door and found a servant waiting. 

"Yes?" 

"Is Mr Pran here?" 

"What is it?" he asked appearing behind Andrew

"Mrs Canel asks for your presence" 

"Why? I left her a while ago" 

"I have no idea but she says it's important" 

Pran and Andrew glanced at each other before nodding to the man. He slightly bowed and left

"What is it now?" Andrew asked and Pran shrugged. 

"_" 

Bringing his eyes on the slight slanting watch clock that had been moved from its position due to the earlier altercation with Cesor, the time read 3:00pm.

He has been cooped up in this office since he came back from the meeting.

All the while in here, he had been going over records and past previous files he could find on Ezekiel.

If he was to prepare for a possible war, he needed to know more about the man. So far he knew that Ezekiel was the leader of Beri Town, and has been for 10 years now.

The town was mostly made up of wolves since vampires and witches of that town disbanded and left.

Beri Town wasn't the only town with disbanded members, most towns all over the estate were.

It was only BlackForest that still had the 3 factions living together in one place, although they too were hanging by a thread. 

Ezekiel is a man in his middle thirties and had lost his mate a few years back during one of their raids in BlackForest and ever since then he has been trying all he could to bring down BlackForest and leave it in ruins. 

He had a deep hatred for the town.

Pat could only imagine how Ezekiel felt.

Even though he was taking his time in acknowledging and acting on their bond, Pat knew that the minute Pran left him, left his life, he wouldn't be able to get past it.
